ALENGTHY IMPRISONMENT.
Pardon Asked for an Almost Friend
less and Forgotten Criminal.

An effort is being made to procure
the pardon of William Willis, who has
been imprisoned in the Clinton State
Prison, n Y, for twenty-one years for
murder, and who will, unless the Gov
ernor interferes, have to spend the re-
mainder of his days there. Since his
entrance to the prison he had not been
visited by single relative or friend ND
to few weeks ago, and never sent or
received message of any kind. The
visitor who went to see him was
nephew from Illinois, who is doing all
he can to procure his relatives release.
Although many who could have recalled
the circumstances of the crime for which
Willis was sentence to be hanged and
afterwards reprieved and sent to prison
are long since dead, many old residents
believing that Willis has been sufficient
" punished for the murder, which had
many eXtenuating circumstances.
Willis was a veteran of the late war.
He was a young blacksmith in Ellenville
before he went to help settle the great
question and was engaged to be mar
ried to Jane Conyes, of Napanock, N.
Y, near here. During the struggle
the young people correspondent with
each other, and letters produced at the
trial showed that the young woman
still made Willis believe that she was
true to him and waiting for his retun.
He came home to find that she had been
two wears married, end had little
child. and had used the money he had
sent her to enrich another mans home.
This blow to the man who had tried to
10 IF hJC n
was sufficient to arouse the most intense
Indignation and rage in Willlss heart.
While still excited after hearing the
news of her perfidy Willis went to the
home of the woman, told her who he
was and snatching carving knife from
the table, stabbed her to the heart. He
then cut her throat and stabbed the
body fifty or sixty times. Willis went
to the village where her husband worked,
told him what he had done, and surren-
dered himself up to the authorities. He
was lodged in Kingston jail, and at the
next sitting of the Grand Jury was in
dicted for murder i'll the first degree,
tried by the court and sentenced to be
hung. A reprieve. however, was grant
ed pending argument for new trial,
which was granted. The sentence of
the court in the second trial was the
same as the first, that he should be
hanged. Again he was reprieved, and
through the efforts of the late Judge
Theoderic Westbrook, his counsel, who
brought all the extenuating circumstan-
ces in the case before Gov. Fenton, after
weary Imprisonment of over a year in
a gloomy underground dungeon in VI
ster county jail, Willis's sentence was
committed to imprisonment at hard la
boz for life. Twice was the gallows
erected at Kingston to hang Willis, and
twice was he reprieved ON the morning
set for his execution.
